Luding Bridge

You need to pay 10 yuan for the entrance fee to walk on Luding Bridge;

But we both felt that viewing Luding Bridge from a distance was more suitable for framing and filming, and of course we couldn’t bear to spend the 10 yuan!

This turbulent Dadu River,

Just looking at it from a distance is intimidating.

What's more, I crossed here!

You can imagine how difficult it was at that time!

I can't help but feel in awe of the warriors of that time!

Yes, the one where the Red Army captured the Luding Bridge during the Long March. I took a few photos of tourists. The water was rushing down below, and wooden boards were laid on several iron ropes. It was a long and arduous journey back then.

From the perspective of future generations, what they left behind was not just a few iron chains, but the spark of revolution.

In order to take a photo, I waited for a long time, a short second, and quickly snapped a picture. The iron chain bridge was shaking quite violently, and finally stabilized. The friend in front of me was almost drowned by the saliva of the uncle behind him, who kept urging us.

Luding Bridge is located in Luding County in western Sichuan. It is also called the Dadu River Cable Bridge. It is the gateway to Ganzi Prefecture and the throat of the Kangzang traffic. The cable bridge is 103.67 meters long and 3 meters wide. It consists of three parts: the bridge body, the abutment, and the bridge pavilion. The bridge body is composed of 13 bowl-sized iron chains, including 9 bottom chains and 4 handrails. Each iron chain is interlocked with 862 to 997 iron rings made of wrought iron, with a total weight of 21 tons. Wooden boards are laid on the bottom chain, and the handrails are connected to the bottom chain with small iron chains, so that the 13 iron chains are connected as a whole.

The first red bridge in China. The Red Army captured Luding Bridge in those days. You must walk on the bridge in this life and review Chairman Mao’s poem “The water of Jinsha River hits the cliffs and is warm, while the iron chains of Dadu Bridge are cold”.

Returning to Luding, I stood by the Dadu River and looked at the Luding Bridge. I don’t believe that walking back and forth on it can make us remember more deeply the battle of "Flying over Luding Bridge" that took place during the Long March in 1935.

The Luding Bridge is 103.67 meters long and 3 meters wide. It is composed of 13 chains and is an ancient bridge with a long history. The bridge is famous both at home and abroad for the battle of "Flying over Luding Bridge".

"The Flying Seizure of Luding Bridge", this historical event that we are all familiar with, is really appropriate to "revisit" during the National Day [grin]. At that time, the Red Army quickly occupied the west end of Luding Bridge, Guanyin Temple and surrounding advantageous positions, and deployed artillery positions to cover the capture of Luding Bridge with great vitality.



The Luding Bridge Incident was an important milestone during the Long March of the Communist Party of China. It laid a solid foundation for the historic reunion of the First, Second and Fourth Front Armies of the Red Army and the final march north to northern Shaanxi to end the Long March.



The water under the Luding Bridge is rushing rapidly today. It is really chilling to look down while walking on it. In addition, there are so many people on the bridge that it is very shaky and you can't even stand steadily. It is really scary. Just think about how difficult it was to capture the Luding Bridge back then.



Ticket price: 10 yuan.

It has its own characteristics, no tickets are required, but you need to buy 5 yuan of insurance, which is somewhat dangerous

Beautiful scenery, turquoise river water, great natural scenery

It was not easy for the Red Army back then. Cherish your life now.

When we came to Luding Bridge, the surrounding area was repaired even better!

There's nothing special to see, just a bridge. As far as I remember, the ticket is 10 yuan, pets are not allowed, and you just need to punch a card at the door.

Luding Bridge is a kind of sentiment, but the bridge itself is very shaky and it is difficult to walk on it. It is also good to go there and feel it.

The capture of Luding Bridge, a triumphant song played with the lives of 22 brave warriors!

It is definitely a good place for red education. Being here, you can deeply understand how difficult it is to build an empire. It is a victory built with the blood of so many people.

Located in the center of Luding, it is a symbol of Luding and a must-see attraction in Luding. Tickets are 10 yuan, and people over 65 years old are free of charge.

The iron chains of Dadu Bridge are cold. Without the war, the Dadu River seems to be much gentler. The square dance on the riverside is the slow-paced life of the Sichuan people.

Revisiting important battle sites during the Red Army's Long March, the bridge was extremely shaky even though it had wooden planks.

It was really amazing that the Red Army was able to capture this bridge back then. It was a very dangerous place, although it is quite stable to walk on it now.

Not bad, waiting to see the night view...it must be beautiful

Across the Dadu River in Luding County, there is a famous iron chain bridge, known as the "Luding Bridge". The bridge was first built in 1705. It is said that after Emperor Kangxi unified China, he approved the construction of the bridge to strengthen cultural and economic exchanges between Sichuan and Tibet, and erected a royal plaque at the bridgehead.

I went to Kangding and saw it. Actually, you don’t need to go in, you can just stand outside and see it.

The wind is strong and the bridge is shaking. Just take a look at the milk tea shop next to it.

We learned about "Flying over Luding Bridge" in elementary school textbooks. Now it is a tourist attraction, 10 yuan per person. There are still many tourists. If you are looking for childhood memories and history, then come and have a look. It is well preserved.

Feel the spirit and courage of the Red Army who captured Luding Bridge despite dangers and hardships.

As more people walked on the bridge, the bridge shook more and more, and there was a turbulent river underfoot, and people were afraid of falling into the river if they were not careful.

The ticket is 10 yuan, you can walk around and take pictures. I heard that the iron rope has not been replaced yet, the quality is very good

Today's Dadu Bridge is made up of wooden planks, and it is no longer the iron-clad bridge it once was. I thought the Dadu Bridge was a tourist attraction for tourists to stroll around, but once I stepped onto the bridge, I realized I was wrong! The entire bridge was shaking, and the Dadu River was roaring and rushing under my feet. Before I even started walking, my legs were weak and I felt dizzy.

It was already 18:30 when we arrived at Luding Bridge. The navigation system tricked us into taking a detour. It was already dark and there was no place to park on the roadside, so I had to go down to take pictures. Classmate Li drove a detour. We were alone, and it was dark and we didn't have the courage to walk across Luding Bridge, which is a free attraction and it is also free to go up the bridge. We hurriedly took pictures and set off for Kangding.

The Luding Bridge is really dangerous! There are several iron chains tied at both ends of the bridge, and several uneven wooden boards in the middle. It is very scary to walk on it.

Luding Bridge is in the center of the county and is easy to find. If you want to walk on the bridge, you need a ticket. There is a temple opposite, but nothing else seems to be there. Is this a 4A-level scenic spot?

As soon as I got onto the bridge, I stopped to ponder how the thousand-pound iron chain was put up. Whenever I see ancient "super projects", I can't help but admire the ancient Chinese construction technology and be impressed by the wisdom of the ancient craftsmen.

The bridge deck shakes to a certain extent, so it's a bit scary at first. Although the bridge deck is very wide, most people still walk in the middle where they feel more stable. However, this also brings benefits to photographers, as standing to the side will ensure that no passers-by will be in the frame.

The bridge itself is not very ornamental. Standing on it, remembering the martyrs, remembering history, and cherishing the present are the information and value that the iron bridge wants to convey to people. It doesn't take long to visit Luding Bridge, one hour is enough.

There are so many tourists. My legs are so weak when I stand on it. It's so shaky. I'm scared.

As the story of the capture of Luding Bridge is well-known to everyone, the bridge is crowded with tourists. The guardrail of Luding Bridge has only three iron cables and the bridge deck has only five wooden planks. Below is the surging Dadu River, so it is still dangerous to walk on it.

The specialty store next to the bridge is a good place to see the full view of Luding Bridge. There is a stone tablet of Luding Bridge at the bridge head. Luding Bridge has several powerful words on it, and "Unify the mountains and rivers" is written on it. Looking back at Luding Bridge, a couplet vividly reflects Luding Bridge, with shadows swaying on the waves and the moon at the bottom, and people coming and going crossing the ladder in the mirror.

It has both beauty and history. The Red Army captured the Luding Bridge. You must visit it when you come to Luding!

Below is the fast-flowing Dadu River, the river is really fast

In the afternoon, a cable-stayed bridge across the Dadu River came into view. It was the Luding Bridge that I learned about in my textbooks when I was a child.

The sun was shining brightly at this time, and the clouds cast flickering shadows on the distant mountain tops. The river looked very calm, and there were tourists coming from afar all around.

It is difficult for me to associate the current Dadu River with the natural danger described in textbooks, and it is even more difficult to imagine the brutal battle that once took place on the iron chain bridge before my eyes.

There is a toll for riding on Luding Bridge. This is the conclusion I came to after I returned from the bridge and made eye contact with the security guard sitting at the bridgehead.

This guy seems to have a Buddhist attitude towards charging fees. If you go up to him and ask him, he will definitely say the fee is 10 yuan. If you walk towards him with determination, he will not stop you.

I realized it later and saw three teammates on the shore looking at me questioningly, "How did you get up there?"

The way to visit Luding Bridge is to walk back and forth, so as to feel the hardships that our ancestors went through when they were fighting for the country. The bridge is indeed very shaky, and it feels unstable to stand on. With just a few wooden boards and iron ropes, one can only sigh at the perseverance and determination of our predecessors.

The first regular attraction is the Luding Bridge on the Dadu River. The war scenes in my childhood memories are so exciting. The scene of 22 warriors flying to capture the Luding Bridge is like a relief painting that is deeply engraved in my mind. The current Dadu River is not as fierce as it was back then, but walking on the Luding Bridge with the shaking of the iron locks, you can still feel the danger. I would like to specially introduce a kind of fruit here, which seems to be the fruit of the cactus that can only be found in Luding and Kangding - the fairy fruit.

Personally, I think that since we are passing by here and have plenty of time, we should stop to feel the danger of Luding Bridge and the feeling of the rushing water and the swaying bridge. It costs 10 yuan per person, but I don’t feel it and just run all the way. But there is no need to waste too much time here. Just feel the Red Army flying over Luding Bridge and then set off.

Standing on the bridge, feel the water of Dadu River rushing past your feet, and imagine the revolutionary martyrs charging here decades ago.

The water flow at Luding Bridge is extremely fast, and tourists on the bridge are crowded on the narrow wooden planks, which makes people feel a little scared. However, since you have taken the first step, there is no turning back, so you can only move forward bravely with trepidation.

There are many souvenir shops next to Luding Bridge. I highly recommend this popsicle. It tastes really creamy...

In fact, it looks okay from a distance and not too scary, but when you actually walk up it, you will still feel a little shaky because the center of gravity is very unstable. You have to admire the courage and bravery of the Red Army when they captured Luding Bridge.

Even though wooden boards have been laid on the iron ropes, you can still feel the rapid flow of the river when you walk on it, which is frightening. I walked about ten meters and then turned back. My legs still felt very shaky when I walked on flat ground.

I have to sigh at the bravery and fearlessness of the Red Army. Only by experiencing it yourself can you understand how difficult it was to "take the Luding Bridge". The bridge is very shaky, so you still have to be more careful when walking. There is a Guanyin Pavilion on one side of the Luding Bridge, and you can see the panoramic view of the entire Luding Bridge from the top.

The bridge is made up of 13 iron cables. It is hard to imagine how the Red Army could have crossed it.

This is a must-pass place on the G318 National Highway into Tibet. It is located on the edge of Luding County. If you are staying in Luding County, you can stop by and take a look.

The phrase "Dadu Bridge is cold with iron chains" is very impressive. That year, "the Red Army was not afraid of the long expedition" and conquered the country! This is a red journey to experience the difficulties and obstacles of the Red Army's war of resistance and the hard-won good life. Luding Bridge, the eternal first stop of the Western Sichuan Loop, is visited by countless tourists. As a transportation fortress in the past history, it has a unique geographical advantage, the gateway to Ganzi, and the throat of Kangzang transportation. It is an important passage from the inland Sichuan to the Kangzang Plateau. Luding Bridge is a masterpiece of ancient Chinese bridge construction. It spans the Dadu River in Ganzi and Luding. The terrain is steep and magnificent. It seems that the cold wind on the Dadu River is howling beside your ears, and the Red Army is fighting bravely and leaping over the iron bridge.

Luding Bridge (Iron Chain Bridge) is located in the southern part of Luding County. The Dadu River runs from north to south, and the bridge runs from east to west. The Dadu River flows from north to south. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the bus station. The ticket is 10 yuan. At that time, the Red Army first occupied the west side of the bridge and then conquered the east side of the bridge.

The Dadu River under the bridge was flowing fast, and the bridge was crowded with people. We sighed for a long time, this thing is really not easy to break through. We didn't go up the bridge, just took a few photos on the side and left! In fact, the question has not been solved yet, which end did we break through? And how could this thing be broken through?

Walking along the river, there are two rows of small vendors, most of whom are villagers selling fruits. The most popular product is the local specialty cactus fruit. In addition, there are also a wide variety of varieties, such as seedless grapes, pomegranates, winter dates, and citrus. The fruits are large, plump, and fresh. Friends who come to Luding Bridge for fun should not miss the good and cheap fruits here.

I am a brave person, but I was scared of walking on this bridge because it was shaking. I could only walk in the middle. There were people coming and going on both ends, and it was crowded. The bridge was shaking violently, and I was afraid that I would be shaken into the river by accident.

10 yuan (half price with student ID!), personal experience: Luding Bridge requires a queue and a limited number of people to pass through. The bridge is particularly shaking when crossing. The bridge is made of wooden planks and has many gaps. Watch your step and be careful when taking pictures, because the river is really fierce and turbulent!

The description in the elementary school textbook seems vivid in my mind, so since I am here, I must go and see it.

Luding County is not large, and Luding Bridge is right in the center of the county. On both sides of the bridgeheads there are plaques written by Emperor Kangxi himself, with the three words "Luding Bridge" and the specific story is quite interesting. You can buy tickets to enter both sides of the bridge, and the ticket is 10 yuan, which can be said to be the cheapest ticket among all the ticketed attractions along the way.

However, due to the load-bearing capacity of the bridge, the number of visitors is limited, so tourists can only experience the bridge in batches arranged by the staff. As the saying goes, they have to queue for half an hour and visit for 5 minutes. But it is definitely worth the experience and the trip is worthwhile.

The mottled iron chains of Luding Bridge record its history. Unfortunately, the continuous heavy rain has made the river more turbulent, and tourists are prohibited from passing through Luding Bridge.

There are people living on both sides of the Dadu River, and the rusty Luding Bridge is the main way for people on both sides to travel. When we arrived, only local residents were allowed to travel together. Looking at the vigorous steps of the grandparents, I seemed to see the endless life here. Although I can't take the Luding Bridge in person, I am also satisfied.

The main road next to Luding Bridge is very narrow, and parking is very inconvenient! ! If you are sure you want to see Luding Bridge, please don't hesitate to park in the parking lot when you see a parking space when you are almost there, otherwise it will be troublesome to find a parking space! Luding Bridge requires a ticket (I don't remember how much it is, it's not expensive), the bridge deck is built of wooden planks + iron cables, and it is very exciting to walk on it~

As a historical attraction, it is still worth a visit, but as a natural landscape enthusiast, don't have too high expectations.

A bridge named after a city, but it also makes this town built along the river a success.

Even with wooden planks, this bridge is still a little unsafe, and the river below is very turbulent! The Red Army is indeed great. The ticket is 10 yuan per person. There is a souvenir shop. I wanted to buy a refrigerator magnet, but it doesn't look good, and it costs 20 yuan each. Now I regret not buying it.

I staggered on the iron chain bridge that swung violently from side to side, with the turbulent Dadu River under my feet... The Red Army soldiers crawled on the bare iron chain without planks, facing the enemy's machine guns... I can still hear the rumbling of gunfire in my ears. Thinking about these things, I am filled with emotion!

I lament that today's happy life is hard-earned and I pay tribute to the martyrs!

On the iron chain bridge over the Dadu River, you can experience the rapid flow of the river and feel the difficulties and dangers faced by the Red Army on the Long March.

The Luding Bridge has now become a real bridge with wooden planks laid between the iron chains. Originally, the Red Army crossed the Lugou Bridge using only iron chains. "The iron chains across the Dadu Bridge are cold." The river water below was very turbulent, and it was terrifying to walk on it. If a cell phone or something fell into the water, it would be gone. It was a marvel at the bravery of the Red Army during the Long March!

It still feels a bit dangerous to walk up to Luding Bridge. The guardrails on the bridge are just two iron chains with very large gaps. If someone falls, they may fall directly into the rushing river.

The Dadu River flows fast and surging. Standing on the cable bridge, you can feel that thrilling moment for yourself. The surging water of the Dadu River rushes under your feet, and you can personally experience the thrilling and tragic life of the Red Army at that time.

When you stand on the bridge, you will understand how difficult it was for the soldiers back then.

It is still worth a visit. Walk on the swaying iron chain bridge and feel the coldness of the iron chains of Dadu Bridge firsthand.

In Luding County, it costs 10 yuan per person to go on the bridge. It's in the junior high school textbook. It's pointless to go on the bridge twice just for the sake of going on the bridge.

There were many tourists that day, and the staff limited the number of people going up and down the bridge each time, fearing that there would be accidents due to too many people. I followed the crowd and stepped onto the iron chain bridge. After walking for more than ten meters, the bridge kept shaking. In addition, I was holding a mobile phone in my hand, and I was afraid that it would accidentally fall into the river, so I didn't dare to go forward. I grabbed the arm of a local lady and walked back to the bridge head tremblingly.

It's not easy to come here once, and I don't want to give up just like that. After putting my phone in my bag, I stepped onto the iron chain bridge again. Maybe it's because I don't have a phone, I feel much more relaxed this time, and I'm much braver. Because there is no guardrail on the side of the bridge, it is very dangerous to walk there. The staff asked tourists to walk on the wooden planks in the middle of the bridge. There are three rows of wooden planks in the middle of the bridge deck, which are not very wide. People walking on both sides are very crowded. Everyone pulls me, I pull you, and the person in front pulls the clothes of the person behind, and walks slowly and carefully. It's not easy to walk back and forth on this iron chain bridge of more than 100 meters. It takes a lot of courage. The brave boy on the bridge kept shaking the iron chain bridge, looking at the rushing river under the bridge, and the people walking on the bridge kept shouting "ah ah", and some even squatted down and dared not to move forward.

It took me almost half an hour to walk back and forth before I finished this dangerous journey on the bridge. After finishing, I felt my legs shaking and my heart pounding. If I had to do it again, I would not do it again, it was too scary!

In the evening, I rushed to the Dadu River and walked on the Luding Bridge. I have to say that it was a bit thrilling to walk on the seemingly stable bridge, especially when the wind blew. The bridge shook violently, and there was a turbulent river below. If you accidentally fell into it, you would definitely be swallowed up by the river in an instant, which was very stressful. I really felt how difficult it was for the soldiers to cross the bridge at that time.

Average scenery, full of content, red tourist attractions

When I was a kid, there was a similar iron chain bridge in my hometown. However, since it was supported by several piers, it would shake a little, but the amplitude was relatively small. However, it felt different when I walked on this iron chain bridge. There was no pier in the middle of the bridge, and it was supported only by the two sides. When nearly a hundred tourists stood on the bridge, it shook violently. What was even more terrible was that the gap between the wooden boards on the bridge was very large, at least 5 centimeters. If the phone fell, it would most likely fall into the turbulent Dadu River. As a person who is afraid of riding roller coasters in amusement parks, I was so scared that I only took two photos on the bridge and put my phone in my pocket and never dared to take it out again = =

Luding Bridge. Passed by on the way from Hailuogou to Kangding.

I saw the Luding Bridge in the elementary school textbook "Flying over Luding Bridge". The Dadu River below was flowing fast and the water level was too high due to the continuous heavy rain. The scenic spot was closed. I didn't go up the bridge. Although I might not have dared to go up even if it hadn't been closed, it was still a little regretful.

The Luding Bridge in the primary school textbook "Flying over Luding Bridge" allows you to walk back and forth on the bridge to experience the thrill of the revolutionary predecessors forcing the Dadu River. Probably due to the heavy rains in recent days, the water of the Dadu River is turbid and turbulent, and it still takes a certain amount of courage to walk on the shaky iron chain bridge.

The bridge swayed as people walked on it, just like a swing. The sound of water was very loud, and looking under the bridge was terrifying.

I knew about Luding Bridge when I was a child, having seen it on TV and in movies. Today I finally saw it in person. Below is the surging Dadu River, and there is no chance of survival if you fall in.

Below is the Dadu River. The river is turbulent and the bridge shakes. There is space between the wooden boards. It costs 10 yuan to cross once. The other side of Luding Bridge is Luding County.

When I stepped onto the Luding Bridge and faced the surging Dadu River, I was truly shocked. It is hard to imagine that the Red Army climbed across the turbulent Dadu River by clinging to the iron ropes. It is really awe-inspiring.
